Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the rice and vegetables

Rinse the rice.

In a medium sauce pot, combine the rice, carrots, peas, and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice and vegetables cook, prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep the remaining ingredients

Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal.
Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Cut the pork crosswise into ½-inch-thick strips; season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cook the pork and pineapple adobo

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over but not yet cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add more oil between batches if needed. [Return all the pork to the pan.] Stir in the onion, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the pineapple, adobo base, and ½ cup [1 cup] water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the pineapple is warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the scallions, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the pork and as much adobo sauce as you like. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.

Kids Can!

Rinse the rice.

Ingredient IQ

In the 16th century, Spaniards arrived in the Philippines and recognized a vinegar-based stewing method similar to a cooking technique of their own. They called it adobo, from the Spanish adobar, meaning “to marinate.” Over the centuries, the dish evolved as Chinese traders introduced soy sauce, which eventually replaced the traditional salt. Today adobo is widely considered the unofficial national dish of the Philippines.
